If the vinegar scent is too strong for you, a few drops of lemon or lavender essential oil will help tone it down while leaving a clean, refreshing aroma.
Dip your mop into the mixture, wring it out well, and mop your floors as you normally would. For tile floors with visible grout, you can pour a small amount directly onto stubborn grout lines and scrub lightly with a brush.
The solution evaporates quickly and doesn’t leave behind any residue—just streak-free, shiny floors.
💡 Tips for Best Results:
- Don’t use on unsealed wood or stone (vinegar can be too acidic for those surfaces).
- For heavily stained grout, let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes before scrubbing.
- Use a microfiber mop to avoid streaks and get a deeper clean.
